Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 21, 2001, our wholly owned subsidiary, Arkanova Acquisition Corporation, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Billie J. Eustice and the Gary L. Little Trust to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Prism Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation, for a purchase price of $6,000,000. The closing of the purchase and sale will occur on September 4, 2008.
The principal asset of Prism Corporation is its ownership of 100% of the membership interests of Provident Energy Associates of Montana, LLC, and the sole assets of Provident are all of the leasehold interests comprising the Two Medicine Cut Bank Sand Unit in Pondera and Glacier Counties, Montana, and the equipment, parts, machinery, fixtures and improvements located on, or used in connection with, the Unit. The Unit, which covers approximately 9,900 acres, is located at the far southern end of the Cut Bank Field and is part of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Since the establishment of the Unit in 1959, there have been 82 wells drilled on the Unit and there are currently 14 wells producing oil from the Unit. Those 14 wells produced 1,667 barrels of oil in July 2008. Ownership of these leasehold interests will give us the right to develop and produce all of the oil and gas reserves under the Unit.
